There are so many things I love best in this holiday season, not only one, but tons of them. I spent it with my whole family together with some of my friends, which I really enjoy. Just being with them completes this amazing season, granted that those were the things that happen every year.

The true highlight of this year’s holiday is that I realized so many things. Thanks to Jess for making me realize that sometimes, there are stories beyond stories. Some people may be antagonists in someone’s own story, but they may also be protagonists in others. It just depends on which Point-Of-View you’re depending. Truly I say to you, your book “Misbehaving” has been the greatest thing that happened this holiday season, and it still is. I am sure not only to me, but to thousands and millions other readers around the world. I guess that is the real essence of Christmas, to understand one another. Certainly, you, Abbi Glines, help me with that. This world is full of people with various traits and differences, with your books, I get to understand differences are meant to be accepted and respected for there are stories beyond those characters or attitudes.

Furthermore, I enjoyed this holiday season with you. Yes, you, Abbi. With your twelve days of Christmas giveaways! Every night (in our timezone) I waited for the results of each day. It’s so heartbreaking that every time I lost, yet, I had fun with my favorite author. However, if in this last day of your giveaway, I won, IT WILL TRULY MAKE, NOT JUST THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, BUT ALSO MY WHOLE YEAR,2013, MUCH MORE AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, UNFORGETTABLE!

Abbi, this holiday wouldn’t be like this without you and your books. I hope you got to read this and eventually, if lucky enough, pick me. As you said, “We aren’t promised a tomorrow so we need to live for today.” I am living my life and part of this life I’m living is with your books. They give me memories that I know I will treasure for a lifetime.

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!
Your so amazing and so giving.
I think one BIG lesson that I've learnt this holiday is to give without expecting. To be more selfless.
I can only imagine how much this giveaway is costing you which is probably more than I can afford to spend on my yearly groceries. All the ebooks I get are gifts from friends and family and I was lucky when my sister bought me the seabreeze series. It literally brought tears to my eyes. But they were amazing but I really love the first one. It's a book you can read again and again and never get bored of it.
I just want to thank you for writing these books for us. For being the author you are and for the ideas you get in these books.
I hope you had a very merry Christmas and you have a lovely new year.
Loss of love

Seeing my mothers face when she opened her Kindle Fire this morning. She was shaking and I thought her eyes were going to pop out her head. lol It was priceless. She always does so much for everyone and puts herself last. She deserves so much more!

Shared on Facebook. The best part about this holiday season is my dad getting to come home for Christmas, even if it is only for a few hours.. My dad has been a Truck Driver all my life and hasn't had a day off in over 4 months due to other drivers not wanting to do their job. He has been hauling milk for the past 4 years. The cows don't stop milking just because it's a holiday!!

Veronica Mammone • 10 years ago

Well this holiday season has been a very hard one for one of my dearest friends, she lost her partner to depression 4 weeks ago, and her father to cancer 3 weeks ago. I have stood by her side and held her hand for most of it. But what can u say.. I just listen, there isn't a thing a can say to make the pain go away. She is struggling financially and Xmas was a bit lost, but throug it all she smiles her infectious smile. I have introduced her to ur books and have her hooked :) and can't wait for the next installment of the fallen to far series! Keep writing Abby and I will keep finding the time to read :)

I think the best holiday gift is that my grandparents are able to celebrate another wonderful Christmas with us this year again. They're both 88 years old! I know. It's a miracle they could celebrate Christmas 88 times. My grandparents are very luck to be alive. That's why every Christmas, we make it a little bit special. Not that we don't make it special on other days too but I think Christmas is a nice day to splurge a little bit on food. Heeheehee.
I hope Ms. Glines you have a wonderful holiday. And an advance Happy New year! :)

Well I would say the best thing is I was blessed to spend it with family and friends, but the 2nd best thing is, I took 2 weeks off work, so for 2 whole weeks I get to do nothing but read :-) !!!! I am one lucky gal!

I hope you had a very merry, blessed Christmas too.

There are so many things that contribute to this wonderful season, the music, the warm feeling and presents of course. But my absolute favorite has to be the family time I love having all my family come down since we are so spread out we don't see each other often . That would have to be my personal favorite thing about the holiday season.

This holiday season I am thankful for my family to be together. My grandparents own a restaurant and Christmas is one of the few days they have off. I love having breakfast and dinner with them on Christmas. My family and I also visited my great grandma who is now 99. I love visiting her and I am so thankful for her long, joyous life. My boyfriend is home from serving in the army for two weeks this holiday season. I am beyond blessed to have him home for this time and very thankful that his family includes me in their holiday festivities. I am thankful for my immediate family, who puts up with me when I may not be very nice towards them. I am thankful I got to spend time with them and I still have a few weeks here at home.

Happy Holidays Abbi!

The best thing about the holiday season is being able to get together with all of my family, even if just for a day. I have a brother that lives in Dothan, AL currently while the rest of my family is in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, so being able to see him was wonderful. In my family, we have a lot of hard-headed men who tend to butt heads, so to see them put aside their differences and enjoy the time we have with each other is heart-warming to me.

And thank you, Abbi. For being so big-hearted and giving us the opportunity to win such wonderful prizes during your twelve days of Christmas. I hope you and your family have had a wonderful holiday season.

Shared on twitter. the best thing about this holiday season is that Christmas gives us a reason to really catch up with our family members and eating bloody sausages. Watching all the cheesy christmas movies really bring up emotions.

The best thing about this holiday season for me was the time I spent with my family and friends. I really enjoyed cooking with my mother, laughing and gossiping with my sister and watching TV with father & partying with friends. It was unusual to me, because we don´t spend a lot of time with each other, but I felt great! :)

Donnajoe Vega • 10 years ago

Shared on Facebook!!! The best thing about this holiday season is that I was able to put smiles on my boyfriend's family faces, especially since they lost my boyfriend's twin brother in July. He was the goof ball of the brunch and always brighten people's days with his humor and smile. Lately it's felt like a dark cloud settled on them, especially the two little ones. My boyfriend and I decided to keep his spirit alive by bringing in the holiday with gifts and food. Making sure they had a ton of gifts, we even got a gift for his brother who passed. Everyone laughed and cried but just bringing them together was by far the best thing about this holiday!!!

Lindsay Medina • 10 years ago

Shared it at Facebook and Twitter. The best thing about this holiday season was I got to celebrate it with my family being complete and with a new addition since my brother got married last December 18. It was our first time to celebrate it abroad (I live in the Philippines) at Macau (it was my first time as well) and it was amazing! My little boy was a trooper since he didn't complain the long walks, the cold and the late night outing. Though my dad is not with us, I know he is happy for us coz we get to spend it together as a family (me, my mom, my brother, his wife and my son). Hope you had a nice holiday as well Abbi! =)

There are few things I treasure and even fewer things I enjoy. I tend to come off as odd and anti-social but if there is one thing I cherish it's my family. I may not always love them as they deserve if ever but that doesn't change the fact that I'll always be there for them even if at times I don't want to. I could use pretty words and disguise the truth or maybe even shadow it with my lies but frankly I don't want to. It has been a long time since I've actually looked forward to Christmas. Most people would be happy that they get to spend time with their families all while getting a break from school or something of the sort but not me...mere seconds pass and they feel like hours but there is only one memory I cherish above all others.....
It was dark outside, you could feel the ice in the air but inside it was just so warm. My mom had her dark curly hair tied up in a pony tail as I snuggled in as close as she'd let me. Her warm arms embraced me as we lay on our old green couch and I'd never felt so loved. Every once in a while she would look down at me and smile her special smile, the one that seemed to say I love you...and I believed it how could I not it was practically shining in her eyes.

That's the thing about my mom. I may let her down or we may both say things that we shouldn't but it'll always come back to this. To this moment where everything is okay harsh words not forgotten or forgiven but accepted. And there may be days where I wonder where the love has gone but then I open my eyes and as if in a dream everything is not perfect but as perfect as they will ever be. I read this one quote and everyday that I spend with my family it grows to feel more true...."if you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues" ~ thanks to all those who actually read this

The best about this holiday season is about the giving and sharing of love not only from your family but also from your friends and the people around you. Sharing your blessings to those people who are in need, especially the people who suffered the wrath of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. And also this holiday season is all about family. The completeness of my family this year gives me joy, happiness and contentment. Let's not forget the reason why we are celebrating this season, it is because this Christmas is the birthday of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It's not all about the gifts, the money and the foods but it is all about giving, sharing and remembering the true reason why we are celebrating this season. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope this season brings you so much joy, happiness, contentment and abundance. Wishing you good health, prosperity and more books to share to us your fans who loves, adores and believes in you. Merry Christmas Abbi.
